Senate Sets Friday Vote on 2026 Budget as Buenos Aires City Presses Coparticipation Claim

The ruling coalition is advancing the lower-house text without Chapter XI to secure votes in the upper chamber.

Overview

  • The Senate, called to session by President Victoria Villarruel, will take up the 2026 Budget and the Fiscal Innocence bill on Friday using the Deputies-approved draft that excludes Chapter XI.
  • Buenos Aires City intensified its coparticipation demand, with PRO deputy Laura Alonso citing a US$6 billion shortfall plus ARS 370,000 million this year and pledging sustained judicial and administrative action.
  • The government indicated that any payment to CABA over coparticipation will be negotiated outside the 2026 Budget after removing related provisions from the text.
  • The Executive ordered a 15‑day mandatory conciliation that halted planned air traffic controller stoppages and prevented the scheduled disruptions.
  • Decree 907/2025 appointed Carolina Píparo as a director of Banco Nación as the PRO took the recent AGN auditor designations to court and LLA leaders defended the procedure.
